    Yeah, there’s some truth in that…

    Which is why I now define things this-way…

    • axiom-based?
    • identity-anchoring?
    • rejecting falsification-by-evidence?
    • seeks self-consistency in some way?

    Then it’s a paradigm and it can be worldview, ideology, prejudice, religion/“religion”, or formal-system.

    ALL of those 5 reject the falsification of the paradigm they’re standing-within.

    Hofstadter’s book “Godel Escher Bach” almost communicated that, but stopped short of identifying that it is paradigm, not formal-system or mind-regime: paradigm includes all-5.

    & only a mind standing outside of a paradigm can honestly falsify that paradigm.

    More interesting, though, are open-&-evolving worldviews, which are … dynamically-transforming-paradigms?

    The more-universal the frame-of-reference, the better…
